You could easily have a bunch of replacement lug nuts. The important part
is the inner thread (7/16 NF I think), and of course the tapered part that
really tightens down on the wheel.
The lug nuts on my TR4 appear to be TR6 spec. They are chromed, rather
tall, and have a plastic circle around (which retains the "hub cap"). I
use a breaker bar w/ a 7/8 socket for my lug wrench.
Also in my possesion is what I beleive to be the original lug wrench for a
TR4. It fits a 7/8 nut as well. Can't really describe it as a precision
tool, but it's a lot more gadgety than yer usual OEM-spec lug wrench.
Stamped on to the shaft is "PENNANT BRITISH MADE" and "325 PAT No.
589794". On the socket, '325' and '7/8" A/F'. It has a rotating jobbie at
the end (like a speed wrench) and an excessivly complicated folding
handle. Not sure if it's an original TR fitment, but it fitments my
lugnutments.
